In what was to be his first major film score Greek composer Vangelis authored one of the most instantly recognisable pieces of electronic music in cinema history, perfectly capturing the tone and nostalgia for a time when two young and gifted British athletes - Harold Abrahams and Eric Liddell- attempted to run fast enough to win medals at 1924 Paris Olympics.

For his 1963 thriller and apocalyptic tale of a northern California coastal town that’s faced with an onslaught of seemingly unexplained, arbitrary avian attacks, director Alfred Hitchcock decided to do away with the conventional, incidental film score.

Famous for its surrealist dream sequence designed by Salvador Dalí and its Oscar-winning score by Hungarian composer Miklós Rózsa – who made notable use of the theremin in one of the eerie instrument's first film outings – Alfred Hitchcock’s enthralling tale of murder and repressed memory more than lives up to its name.

There’s nothing like a bit of classic horror on a Sunday morning to make you feel alive… Alive! Creepy, explosive, this brilliantly evocative work of electronic experimentation remains, 80 years on, an orchestral tour-de-force unequalled in the genre.
